Distributions
Matlab has cumulative distribution functions (Xcdf), probability density functions (Xpdf), inverse distributions (Xinv), random number generators (Xrnd), and distribution moments (Xstat) for all the following distributions. Octave has X_cdf, X_inv, X_pdf, X_rnd, but does not have X_stat.
